We are pleased to announce the beginning of our Deacons Training Course, dedicated to teaching and strengthening our deacons in the liturgical life and traditions of the Syriac Orthodox Church.

This course will focus on learning and practicing the Holy Divine Liturgy, as well as the sacred services of the Church, including Baptism, Holy Matrimony, Funerals, and other liturgical rites.

The course is open to all ranks of deacons, providing an opportunity to learn our Syriac hymns, prayers, traditions, and ecclesiastical order more deeply. Our goal is to equip and strengthen our deacons to serve the Holy Church faithfully and effectively for generations to come.

As the Holy Scripture says:

“Let all things be done decently and in order.”
(1 Corinthians 14:40)

We encourage all our deacons to participate and grow in knowledge, faith, and service, so that together we may glorify God and preserve the rich heritage of our Syriac Orthodox Church.
